DIED. HENRY LUCE III, 80, elder son of TIME co-founder Henry R. Luce and a Time Inc. executive, whose posts at the company over 29 years included serving as publisher of TIME; on Fishers Island, N.Y. Before arriving at Time Inc.'s flagship magazine in 1951, Hank, as he was known, served in the wartime U.S. Navy and as a reporter for the Cleveland Press.

But whose childhood does not? Her adult life was not marred by more than the normal share of grief. Only the ordeal of Hammett's last illness makes her vulnerable enough for an audience to like, despite...
...magazine publishes a campus edition of 550,000 copies, and Time Inc. sponsors a summer intern program that enables selected students to work at TIME and other company publications, usually between their junior and senior years. TIME has special reason to believe in the abilities of young people. Henry Luce and Briton Hadden were only college sophomores when they began their remarkable partnership, later becoming managing editor and chairman of the Yale Daily News. Before their 25th birthdays, Luce and Hadden went on to found TIME...
